Description: "Frontiers of Aerospace Law introduces issues as challenges to be addressed, both as corollaries and concomitants to this fundamental trend in the merger between air and space law. In space, the issues range from legal liabilities pertaining to extraterrestrial intelligence; environmental pollution in outer space; conduct of persons in outer space; to cyber crimes affecting outer space activities. In air law, they include aircraft noise; economic trends of airports; air navigation services; funding for aviation safety projects; emergent aeromedical issues and privacy of airline pilots." "Geared to look future reality directly in the face and find legal solutions, this book is essential reading for international and national lawyers and academicians specializing in space and air law, and to industry executives concerned with the merging interests of aviation and aerospace business endeavour."--BOOK JACKET.
